Lost bus tickets in Parkersburg-Marietta
Those bus tickets are mine, and I’m not sure where they went. I realized around 5:45 PM on Friday, near the Parkersburg Transit Center's Market Street entrance, that my tickets weren't in my pocket anymore. They were two white slips, one with a red stamp and perforated edges, the other a crumpled slip for the 6:40 PM bus home. I retraced steps along Market Street, past the riverfront and the brick kiosk, hoping they'd be on a bench or by the curb, but the evening stayed quiet. I’m anxious about missing my ride after a long week of classes. If you found something like that near the Market Street entrance, please help me reunite with them.
FOUND: Holiday Decorations along Parkersburg riverfront
Hi, I’m Olivia Turner. I found these holiday decorations today along Parkersburg’s riverfront, around 4:30 p.m., near the Blennerhassett Island overlook. The items include a red-and-green garland, a small wreath, and a tabletop snow scene with blinking lights. They looked recently left behind, the LEDs still twinkling in the late-afternoon breeze off the Ohio River. I could imagine a family getting their porch ready for a winter display, and it warmed me to see something festive found on the ground instead of lost. I kept the pieces together and placed them where a passerby could spot them, hoping the owner sees this listing and reclaims them.
Lost Postcards in Parkersburg downtown
While wandering Parkersburg's historic downtown today, I realized my postcards are missing. I was along Market Street near the Blennerhassett Hotel around 2:40 PM, taking photos and chatting with a friend, when I must have dropped the stack somewhere between 3rd and 4th streets by the riverfront. The cards are small, with handwritten notes on the backs and a couple of travel stamps from last summer. They’re sentimental, and I’d love to have them back so I can finish writing to my grandmother tonight.
FOUND: Student ID near Parkersburg City Park.
I found a Student ID on the Riverfront Trail near Parkersburg City Park in Parkersburg-Marietta, West Virginia, United States around 4:15 PM on Saturday. My heart sank a little—it's a personal card and could hold someone else’s clearance and class access. I tucked it safely into my jacket and posted here so the owner can claim it through the site. I hope this helps the rightful student get back what's theirs, especially after a long day of classes.
Lost equipment for various sports near Fort Boreman Park
I was playing a casual pickup game at Fort Boreman Memorial Park around 5 PM when the match ended and I hurried to grab my gear. In the rush, my equipment for various sports didn’t make it back into my car. The bag contains soccer cleats, a basketball, and a blue gym bag with my initials. Losing it has me anxious about the upcoming season, and I keep replaying the moment I realized it was gone. If you found anything matching this description by the riverfront near Fort Boreman Park, please drop a note.
Lost DVDs near Smoot Theatre, Parkersburg.
I lost my DVDs around 2:15 p.m. last Saturday near the Smoot Theatre on Market Street in Parkersburg-Marietta, West Virginia. They were in a black plastic case with a few scratches along the spine, tucked in a tote bag I was using for errands. I retraced the blocks between the theatre and a nearby cafe, asked a couple of clerks, and spoke to a passerby, but nothing turned up. Those films mean a lot to me and our small movie nights, so I’d be grateful to have them back. If you found them, they’re waiting by the Smoot Theatre on Market Street until someone claims them on the site.
Lost: Organizers near Riverview Park, Parkersburg
I was volunteering at a small outdoor meetup in Parkersburg's Riverview Park, part of the Parkersburg-Marietta metro area, around 6:40 PM on Monday when my tote of organizers disappeared from the wooden picnic table near the riverfront. The Ohio River glowed gold as the sun sank behind the bluffs, and my heart sank with it. Those organizers are the setup kit I use to keep cords, labels, and tiny clips tidy for tomorrow’s workshop, and losing them means a scramble I could do without. I retraced my steps along the path by the benches and the gazebo by the boat launch, but there was no sign of them. If you spotted a black tote with a bright orange Organizers label near the river, please keep an eye out in that area.
Blue budgie parakeet with red leg band
I lost my blue budgie parakeet yesterday around 4pm near Riverfront Park on Market Street in Parkersburg, right by the river walk benches. It's a small bird, mostly blue with a white belly and subtle black wing markings. It has a bright red leg band with the number 42 on it. This bird is the family's little chatterbox—my daughter named it Sky—and it means a lot to us, especially since we just moved here last month. If anyone spots him or finds him perched in a yard or tree, please reach out. We'd be forever grateful.
Blue dragon plush with orange wings
I lost my daughter's blue dragon plush yesterday around 3pm near the Parkersburg City Park playground by the carousel, off Riverside Drive. It's about 12 inches tall, soft plush, bright blue with a purple belly and orange felt wings. There's a small frayed seam at the tail and a tiny silver star sticker on the left ear. It was a gift from Grandma and holds a lot of sentimental value for my kiddo—she hugs it every night. If someone found it, we'd be incredibly grateful to get it back; it helps keep her calm at bedtime.
Black Coach tote with teal lining and gold hardware
I lost my black Coach tote yesterday around 3pm near the Blennerhassett Hotel on Market Street in Parkersburg. It's a medium-sized black leather tote with teal satin lining and a gold Coach emblem on the front. It has a small teal tassel keychain and, honestly, there's a faint coffee stain along the bottom corner I can't quite wipe off. Inside were my wallet and a photo of my grandma; it really means a lot to me and I really need it back.
Red Nike hoodie, size M, white drawstrings
I lost my red Nike hoodie, size M, yesterday around 3pm near Riverside Park by the Market Street entrance in Parkersburg. It's a well-worn fleece with white drawstrings and a small snag on the left cuff. On the inside hem there's a tiny pink lipstick stain, and the inner tag has my initials 'PP' embroidered. It was a gift from my sister, so it feels really sentimental, and I’d be grateful to have it back.
Dwarf hamster with gray fur, white patch
I lost my tiny dwarf hamster yesterday around 3pm in the Parkersburg-Marietta area. He’s about the size of a ping-pong ball, with gray-brown fur and a small white patch on his left ear, plus a cream belly. Last seen near the Market Street entrance to City Park, by the gazebo behind the fountain, in a clear plastic cage with a blue wheel. He’s gentle and curious, and this little guy has sentimental value for my family—especially my 4-year-old daughter. If you’ve seen him, please reach out; I’d really love to have him back.
Found olive-green zip pouch with trinkets
I found a small olive-green zip pouch this morning around 9:45am in the parking lot behind the Parkersburg Art Center on Market Street. It's about 4 inches long, with a faded floral print on the zipper pull and a tiny dent in the metal clasp. Inside there's a silver compass keychain, a crumpled Sunset Café receipt, and a photo tucked under the lining of a dog wearing a red collar. There's a sticker on the inside that says 'Sunset Café' and the note 'Lila' written on the back of the photo. If this belongs to you, DM me here and we’ll set up a pickup.
Silver Yamaha trumpet with initials and dent
I lost my silver Yamaha trumpet yesterday around 3pm near the Smoot Theatre on 2nd Street in downtown Parkersburg. It's a lacquered trumpet, model YTR-2330, with a couple of small dents near the bell and a faint ring from a worn case strap. The mouthpiece receiver has tiny initials M.K. engraved on it, and the hard case is black with a frayed zipper. It was a gift from my grandfather and has sentimental value; playing it always felt like a connection to him. If anyone found it, please reach out I really need it back; it means the world to me.
Blue plush dragon with rainbow wings found near City Park
I found a small blue plush dragon this morning around 11:15am near the City Park playground off Fourth Street in Parkersburg-Marietta. It’s about 8 inches tall, made of soft blue fleece with a rainbow mane and tiny orange wings. It's a kid-friendly plush dragon, a perfect toy for a young child. There’s a bright green tag stitched on the belly that reads 'Stellar,' and the right wing has a tiny seam nick from a playful tumble. It looks well-loved but still in good condition. If this belongs to your kid, tell me the tag color and the dragon’s name and I’ll reunite you right there at City Park.
